Good Morning FHT!

GOOOOD MORNING FHT! its me Gaz the eel coming to you live and direct from the middle of nowhere, a stinking, depraved garbage heap that I like to call my second home..but I'm not here to talk to you about Silvermoon am I? No I'm here to offer an idea to you kiddies!"

Right anyway...I come to you today my comrades in Mida servitude to present an idea..an idea that could be used by the guild to spurn interest in Mida and our heroic struggle..

Pirate Radio. ( rest of post cut to make room for master post..sorry)

MASTER POST (WIP)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name: None so far- open to suggestionsBroadcasting time:Once a week, most likely Friday or Saturday Roles: So far me.DJ codenames for volunteers- Gaz-Commodore ( the captain of this ship of subversive slammers)_____________________________________________________________________

Content ideas! ( so far, all of these are open to discussion, debate and change so keep the ideas coming!)

1- Commodore Report-Starting off with a bit of news in a twisted Stephen Colbert type parody fest, headlines for the week including not just real news but faux made up deals designed to show Gallywix in a bad light and post Mida as the leader needed for the Bilgewater Cartel!.

2- The View parody ( a merger of point 3 and 2)- Once again I have no idea what the view is...but from what I hear on this thread it sounds very good

"And of course there will be the latest stories like 'How to know when your ruler is a idiot despot', tragic stories about Goblins foisted aside and messed over by Gallywix (with prizes rewarded to them and the viewers/listeners!), and OF COURSE the latest fashion tips and celebrity upkeep!"- Snuffit

5- Commercials- Simple, we get people to send in ads they want and we post them..

6- Contests- {Coming soon}

7- A radio play- something like war of the worlds I'm assuming? MOAR DISCUSSION PLZ

8- Alex Jones- No idea who that is...MOAR DISCUSSION PLZ

9- A Grind my Gears segment- simply a rant about stuff ( also from Family guy- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHtRnOXXZ0w) DISCUSSION PLZ_____________________________________________________________________Advertising and getting it out there!

This is brilliant! I love this idea, and it is a wonderfully goblin-y one. (Snuffit right now is demanding to be the next Oprah, but feel free to ignore her. It's not THAT kind of talk show, after all.)

Alright its time for draft idea 1.0..just some general..kinda patch notes and the framework of this glorious idea! ( in dot points..)

1- Broadcasting Schedule- I'm thinking once a week during either Friday or Saturday ( as those are the days I know for sure I have free)

2-Advertising the broadcasts- Now advertising the broadcasts itself I had three rough ideas for this. 1- The Wyrmrest Forums, 2-Trade chat ( and also advertise broadcasts both a few days before they are due and a few hours before each one) and 3- We use the very well known HNN to do a story about strange broadcasts before the first broadcast is due to the begin and a story after the last broadcast ends ( more on the stories later)

3- Content:News- well as this is meant to be not just entertaining but also have an underlying political motive I suggest a news portion of things happening around Goblin kind with both real news stories and...slightly exaggerated items portraying old Gallywix in a bad light ( blaming him for things etc)

4-Content:Guests- GUESTS! prominent members of the anti-Gallywix movement for one which we can use once again to push the political agenda who after a brief interview can answer call ins from listeners.

5: The end?!- yes I already have an idea for the end ready..A gook like Gallywix wouldnt let a pirate station like this continue badmouthing him and to enrage people more HE causes the end of the broadcasts via a raid ( still details)

Thats all I have so far..POST IDEAS ITS BRAINSTORMING TIME MY FRIENDS! ( I will add ideas to the first post later)

Old Time Radio Show Style- War of the Worlds, The Shadow, subversive storytime

Weather Man - "Comin at ya from tha Sunshine Chopper! Looks like it'll be hot, dry, and sunny today in Durotar today, with a chance of sundown eventually...."

Stephan Colbert Style - subversive parody

Commercials!

Contests?

More ideas?

I like the Stephan Colbert idea I love that man..he is one of my idols. Commercials we could do as well but I dunno I would feel like we would almost be stepping on some toes there maybe ( HNN has been around forever and advertises a lot of stuff for guilds etc)

I definitely don't want us stepping on the toes, HNN rocks. With commercials I was thinking more like silly pretend ones, although come to think of it I kind of doubt pirate radio would have commercials at all, huh?

I can SO see Gaz doing the Colbert thing! This fills me with squee! XD

The Story Radio Show idea mostly comes of my love of old school Detective, mystery, and sci-fi radio shows of the 1930s -1950s, it may be a little out there. Maybe Rou could put something together every so often but not regularly.

Oooh, this idea sounds really cool! Already wondering what Zissele could possibly contribute... maybe a radio cooking show (if those even exist)? (... actually even if they don't exist that might be pretty funny)

Eh, even if she doesn't get a show, if there's something she could possibly do behind the scenes, I'm sure she'd be willing to do it... as long as it doesn't involve technical stuff.

Yeah, Snuffit is loving the talkshow idea. Her head is getting very big. And of course there will be the latest stories like 'How to know when your ruler is a idiot despot', tragic stories about Goblins foisted aside and messed over by Gallywix (with prizes rewarded to them and the viewers/listeners!), and OF COURSE the latest fashion tips and celebrity upkeep!

/cackles as she rubs her hands together.

We could use two more people for it, to make it really 'view' like, but that might be a little much to coordinate.

And Gazeel would make the perfect Colbert. Especially considering that the tongue-in-cheek would fool some people into thinking that it's Gallywix support! (Seriously, everytime I see a republican go into it acting like it's a serious interview only to be surprised.... /facepalms. Do any of these guys watch his show before deciding whether or not to be interviewed by it?)

But, especially based on these videos, Jones is likely more goblin-y. I could do something on Fridays possibly since that's my day off, and my character Isvalbard always wanted to be a political pundit. Brumley could easily do a religion / cultural show too.

Oooooo Shuchirch, Brumley's father, used to be a fortune teller before he... well, kind of became a mad hobo living in Mt. Kajaro. He's moderately sane now though, so I could easily see a fortune teller show, or at least commercials... think Lady Cleo =P

Barwin, my hunter, could do a Bear Grylls Goblin vs. the Wild show, or possibly a nature show. Hell, he could even do a hobby show since he lived alone on the Lost Isles for so long, and enjoys collecting bugs.

I do love the idea of a Goblin v Wild show especially if it plays on the Bear Grylls 'go to move' of drinking your own piss..( except of course we change it from drinking your own piss...)

EDIT- I'm also thinking that since we have a lot of content ideas and if we can flesh most of these out we should stagger them from week to week ( keep a couple of key segments and then mix and match the rest)

For Her Tallest is a goblin RP guild themed around the Trade Princess Movement. Back in 2010, we started a thread on the official Warcraft forums that suggested the Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel should be a female. From that thread, a whole player-drive movement began, and the character Mida Silvertongue, also known as Her Tallest, was born. Our efforts were so successful, Mida was written into the game by Blizzard as Boss Mida <Her Tallness> of the Goblin Slums; official liaison to the warchief for the Bilgewater Cartel, overseer of the slums, and the highest-ranking goblin in-game (since Gallywix is still mysteriously NYI). Our prime directive is to support Boss Mida’s rise to power, and hopefully one day as Trade Prince of the Cartel. For Her Tallest!
